Base boss

 base_boss is a point entity available in Team Fortress 2. Its the entity that thetank_bossentity, seen in Mann vs. Machine, uses as a base, and has most of its behavior originating from. Thus so, it shares many behavior found within thetank_bossentity. A few examples being:

• Crushes engineer buildings that collides with it
• TFBots treat this entity as an enemy
• Drops currency pack on death
• Plays sounds to a client when it gets damaged

By itself, it is static and does not perform anything. However, it is still of use in setting up a custom hitbox for any custom static NPC bosses

In code, it is represented by theCTFBaseBossclass, defined in thetf_base_boss.cppfile.
